Burnout Response Matrix by Chris Wood July 1, 2025 written by Chris Wood July 1, 2025 Welcome to your Burnout Response Matrix 1. When stress hits, I usually: Power through on adrenaline Feel wired but keep going Freeze or feel overwhelmed Pause and respond calmly None 2. My inner voice is usually: Harsh and perfectionistic Anxious and overthinking Never satisfied, always pushing Kind, forgiving, steady None 3. When I make a mistake, I usually think: "I should've known better." "This proves I'm not good enough." "Everyone will see I'm failing." "I'm human, I’ll learn from this." None 4. When I try to rest: I can’t sit still I feel guilty My mind keeps racing I know how to settle my body None 5. I tend to: Take on too much without thinking Struggle to say no Feel like rest = failure Protect my time and energy well None Please enter your name Please enter your email Time's up 0 comment 0 FacebookTwitterPinterest previous post How well are you regulating your nervous system?
